Instructions
Heat a large heavy based pan to medium heat and add oil. Cook the chopped onion for 1-2 minutes, add the finely chopped garlic, and cook for a few seconds.
Now, add the sliced carrots. Stir and cook for 5-6 minutes.
Add the chopped jackfruit and herbs. Stir well, then add the sliced peppers. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is evenly coated with the herbs, then add the lentils. Stir to combine once again, add the wine, stock and tomatoes.
Cook the casserole on medium heat covered with a lid for approx. 40 minutes or until the lentils are fully cooked. Stir occasionally and keep a little extra stock on hand just in case you need to top up your liquids as the lentils cook (I didn’t require any extra for mine).
